farm-city-coverNovella Carpenter is hosting an Open House at her farm, which is also the subject of her book,  Farm City: The Education of an Urban Farmer.  By the way, it was recently nominated for a Northern California Book Award.  You can take a self-guided tour, meet the author and help pull bermuda grass if you want.

Cafe Rouge is continuing their monthly butchery classes with “The Goat.”  First, Jeanne McCormack, a local rancher will lead a discussion.  Then, Cafe Rouge lead butcher, Scott Brennan and executive chef Rick DeBeaord, will demonstrate how they butcher and cook the animals.  Wine and food (curry, pancetta, ham and rack chops) will be served.

Saul’s will be closed on Mon, 3/29, but soups, main courses and sides will be available for take-out (order online).  They will also have a special menu for Passover dinner on Tuesday.

The former Barnes & Nobles bookstore will be transformed into Taste for Artisans – Handmade Ho Down Village next weekend.  There will be over 75 artisans, local breweries, a farmer’s market, live craftmaking and classes, and live music.  The Ho Down theme will be complete with mechanical bull rides and a square dancing competition, but I think they might have gone too far with “creamed corn wrestling.”

Battledish, a foodie adventure game and Canvas Underground Supperclub, are joining forces to create a Canvas Dishcrawl.  What’s a Dishcrawl?  It’s basically a four course meal at four different restaurants.  The restaurants are a surprise until the day of the evnet, but when I asked organizer Tracy Lee for a hint, she mentioned something about a street food truck or cart.  Hmmm… Don’t wait to buy tickets – there are only few couple left!

4/18, 5-9
